Bookwyrm if you want something Fediverse.
Storygraph I think is the other popular one (I've not used it)
I have been using TheStorygraph and I am amazed by the quality of some of the recommendations.
Also a Storygraph user. And I'll add in praise for their migration tool that carried over my Goodreads data so I didn't lose my history nor my to-read list.
I’ve been using Storygraph for a couple of years now and love it. The only feature it’s missing for me that Goodreads has (although its implementation is awkward anyway) is the ability to add a note to a book you haven’t started yet.
My workaround for now is a tagging system with friends names like #recommendation #recommendation-amy and if I want some more detailed info, I made a custom shortcut to transform a Storygraph share URL into a note in my book notes folder in Obsidian.
In case you use it for tracking what you've read and what you would like to read - OpenReads
I had no idea this existed! This is awesome!
I’ve been using Hardcover. Still very much a WIP and community is still pretty small but it seems very promising with a public api and ambitions to open source.
Well, they let me order my lists (and actually display the order). That's good.
No way to bulk add books to a list? Not so good.
Worth keeping an eye on, though.
If you mean a shared server for book comments, Open Library (openlibrary.org) was supposed to be that, though it never gained so much popularity.
